Year 9 Gcse options at Tiffins
Posted: Sat Jan 15, 2011 9:43 pm
My son will be choosing GCSEs in Feb . I need some advice about the science GCSE .
The courses offered are:
a) GCSE Science plus GCSE Additional Science which will lead to the award of two
GCSEs.
b) A separate Sciences course which will lead to the award of GCSEs in Biology,
Chemistry and Physics.
Tiffin quote in booklet
Our view is that the Science plus Additional Science course represents the most
appropriate choice for the majority of pupils. As delivered at Tiffin School it offers a solid
and rigorous grounding in Science whilst still allowing pupils to follow a broad and
balanced curriculum.
My son is not sure what he wants to do at Uni ,he is good at Science and but can also write well and enjoys History.If he takes 3 sciences he can only choose 2 GSCE options rather than three.
What is better 3 individual sciences or what seems a diluted science GSCE. Any parents whose children who have done 2 GSCE option in Science what are your views?
It is so easy if children have good idea what they want to do for A level?My son is a bit a drifter,enjoys art ,can be good at languages if he applies himself but at the moment he is a bit of a hormonal caveman !Any advice most welcome.
